Have default for unit cost in inventory management

It would be nice to have a unit cost for each product. This way when creating a PO it would be filled in automatically. Right now that has to be filled in each time manually.

That feature would make this usable for me and I'd move from starter to a paid plan, but without it it makes creating POs harder than my current process.

Hi Rohit, 

Thank you for your feedback and for your interest in our inventory solution. Right now you can assign suppliers to your products and vice versa. When you do this you are also able to save the unit cost and supplier SKU for each product and supplier association. This is explained in some more detail here: https://support.shippingeasy.com/hc/en-us/articles/213227343

When you assign a default unit cost to a product would you also want this to be assigned to a specific supplier for the product? Specifically if you selected a specific supplier and product(s) on a purchase order then the saved unit cost would be populated. 

If you had several suppliers for a product I would assume that the unit cost would vary from each, which is why we require the supplier and product assignment before a unit cost can be saved. Can you please provide some more information about how you would like this default to be saved in our system.

This should be associated with :

Entering Item Costs

 

Either way, I vote for cost field(s) in inventory - very important feature. It should be tied into Reports as well!

Hi Paul, 

Thank you for sharing your feedback as well. We are looking into this request as well as the Entering Item Costs thread. We will update both threads with additional information as it becomes available.
